Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ship machinery noise control, and particularly relates to a centrifugal pump blade frequency line spectrum flow noise sound source modeling method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Underwater noise performance is a key performance affecting the development and application of high-performance ships, and one of the main noise sources of high-performance ships is a centrifugal pump group of a high-flow through-hull system. Periodic pulsating hydrodynamic force generated by high-speed rotation of the pump impeller produces high-magnitude blade frequency line spectrum noise, which has an important influence on the underwater noise of the ship and is the focus of through-hull system noise control.
[0003] In ship engineering practice, there are two measures commonly used to control the flow noise of the through-hull system: one is to develop a low-noise seawater pump to reduce the magnitude of the blade frequency flow noise at the source; and the other is to install a silencer on the pipeline to control the system noise on the transmission path. Whether it is the development of a low-noise seawater pump or the through-hull system pipeline flow noise transmission control scheme based on the silencer, it is necessary to carry out rapid and relatively accurate calculation of the magnitude of the seawater pump blade frequency flow noise, so as to optimize the flow noise performance of various pump group design schemes, provide an effective pump group blade frequency sound source for the analysis of the control effect of the flow noise of the through-hull system, and thus ensure the best control effect on the underwater noise of the through-hull.
[0004] The current calculation method for pump group flow noise is divided into two types:
[0005] (1) Engineering estimation method based on flow rate and head
[0006] This method estimates the fluid power of the pump group using the flow rate and head parameters of the pump group. According to experience, the acoustic energy of the flow noise is estimated by a certain proportion, and then the total level and octave band data of the flow noise in a certain frequency band are given. The blade frequency line spectrum noise energy of the through-hull system flow noise accounts for as high as 50%, and engineering needs to carry out single frequency pipeline sound transmission analysis for the blade frequency. Therefore, this estimation method cannot meet the needs of the analysis and evaluation of the blade frequency flow noise in engineering.
[0007] (2) Blade surface sound source method based on acoustic analogy theory
[0008] The blade surface sound source method needs to accurately divide the pump group internal sound field grid according to the three-dimensional geometry of the impeller, and is seriously dependent on the pump group blade modeling scheme. With the optimization and change of the pump group itself, the flow field grid of the pump group needs to be re-divided, which increases the workload of the pump group acoustic performance evaluation and cannot adapt to the rapid iterative design of various pump group schemes. SUMMARY
[0009] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, and based on engineering practice, it is known that the blade frequency of a low-noise through-hull pump set is usually lower than 300 Hz, and theoretically, the radiation sound field of a low-frequency (not higher than 315 Hz) hydrodynamic force (surface force) is basically equivalent to that of a concentrated force, the embodiment of the present application provides a centrifugal pump blade frequency line spectrum flow noise sound source modeling method, the moving blades are segmented, an acoustic equivalent space distribution dipole cluster is established, in the case that the pump set internal sound field grid is unchanged, the dipole coordinates are changed to quickly adapt to the three-dimensional modeling of the moving blades of the pump set, the high accuracy advantage of the surface sound source method is retained, and the problem of repeated reconstruction of the pump set internal sound field grid is avoided.
